3 Dance lessons based on Wind in the Willows

3 Dance lessons suitable for upper KS1 or lower KS2 based on the Kenneth Greene novel The Wind in the Willows.
Each lesson is creative & simply requires the teacher to ask the children questions to inspire them to move - all of which are laid out in a simple step-by-step format.
The first lesson uses the idea of the river, it’s bank & the plant life often found in such settings. The second lesson uses Mole’s spring clean as a starting point, this is developed into partner work as we introduce Ratty & their journey down the river. Finally we meet Toad in the episode with this motor car & travelling haphazardly along the country lanes.
Music is suggested for each lesson which is easily accessed via the internet, but feel free to add your own!
The lessons are designed to keep the children moving throughout the lesson & to develop their own ideas.
